There's not much reason to go much into the next decade or period because you get used to a configuration of players and song styles of when you 1st got on the bus.

When you think about it, it's a really odd bus. But that bus was newer in the 1st 10 years and ran like a charm.

So while I prefer the sound of Jerry's Tiger guitar and Mickey's Beam and like the 80s and early 90s, in practice I rarely listen to anything past '75.

Maybe Jimmy Carter was right about the malaise, because things could have gone better if the hippies and black panther types could have held it together better instead of running to white powders. Reagan wouldn't have been elected and the Bush deficit spending/corruption dynasty could have been just a bad dream.

But in this reality, our hearoes were tarnished to the point where you have to worry how that reflects on the rest of us.

Thought I'd have something more to say.
